Toyota's Interchangable Oddities.... (TIO#)

[Lambolica]

If anyone can chime in with 1G-GTE main/rod bearings are the same as ............
Now would be a good time to.....

[tricky]

Not really an oddity, but an interchanging myth. One thing I have been told is TA22 and RA23 bonnet hinges are NOT interchangable. I would like to disperse this myth.



Looks a little bit funny due to the angle , but I assure you they are identical.

Which'll mean the ST205 ones should fit with a few mods.
Any idea whether the brake rotors have the same offset (I know the stud patterns are different)?

the st185 (single piston) rotors have a 1mm difference in rotor offset. centre hub is the same 54mm though.

im not sure about the twins as ive never had any of the original rotors for them however they fit and work perfectly on the aw11 stockers.

Are you saying the Celica rotors have a 1mm difference in offset to the AW11 rotors?
Twin spot Celica & single spots are the same.

ST20x Celicas have a 55mm centre hub

ST165/185 outer CV's fit straight onto SW20 axles and the outers then fit into AW11 hubs.

SW20 turbo rear calipers, with the 22V markings, bolt up to AW11 rear hubs and give the ability to run a 22mm wide rotor and use the standard hand brake etc.

4age valve stem seals are the same as 1g

for power steering in a ra23 use a mx62 item (almost bolt up)

It wasn't just then but I have given you rep for this thread.

It's handy making a post that catchs the attention of an admin as being a good thread. Admin votes are rather substantial.

[EVOSTi]

yep this thread was a top idea. good to see people making contributions who have first hand experience rather than 'heard it from some guy so it must be true' stories.

16v 4age bucket/shims are interchangeable with 2nz-fe(echo) buckets, therefore allowing higher revability in the 4age, by not flicking out shims with big cams, etc..

i'm dying to do this...i wish someone would give me a 4age to do it to

[CrUZida]

2nz-fe buckets fit a lot more motors than just the 4age.
They are also shimless buckets.

[ed]

are they shimless, or shim-under?

i know the 1nzfe are shimless

[CrUZida]

Hmm, good point.
One would assume that if they used shimless on 1nz-fe, then it would be shimless on 2nz-fe.
But I can not confirm that.

[Steve-AE86]

they're the same...shimless.

Everyone probably knows this already but for any one who doesn't, here goes.

When fitting a 4AGE into a KE3x/5x corolla the sprinter T50 gearbox rubber mount bolts straight onto the KE gearbox crossmember. This then bolts to the rearward gearbox crossmember bolt holes on the chassis of the KE. I don't know if this is the same for KE1x/2x corolla's though.
Custom engine mounts then need to be made to suit.

Hope this is useful to some one considering this conversion.
